rest of honeymoon

Ok, the honeymoon was awesome! It felt like we were there for a lot longer than three days, we did so much! Brooke was great on the ride down, she didn't cry at all. We left around 12:30 and got there around 9:30pm, a long drive. The hotel was very beautiful and we had a great view of the falls. When we got in, Brookie was still wide awake so we put on our bathing suits and went swimming in the hotel pool. It was Brooke's first time in a pool and she was a little scared at first, but then started splashing around and having fun. She still would cry whenever Jason went under water, though. After the pool we went to bed. Jason woke up around 5:30 and couldn't sleep, so he woke both Brooke and I up at 6:00 and we got ready for the day. First we went down to the Falls and took some really great pics  and just looked at all the scenic views, it was so beautiful! After doing that for a while, we went into Journey of the Falls, where you go through a tunnel that leads to a platform directly near the base of the Canadian Falls (Horseshoe falls). We all had to wear ponchos and got soaked! Brooke seemed to like it, and we took some pics. After that we went up to the boardwalk-type street and walked around. We ate at a restaurant and went into the Ripley's believe it or not musuem. After that we walked the boardwalk back down to the American falls and took more pictures. Then we went back to the hotel and collapsed until 8pm, when we went out to eat at Red Lobster and then back to the Falls to take pics of them lit up, it was very beautiful. Then we went to bed. Tuesday we went first out to eat and then to the Butterfly Conservatory. It was so great, there were butterflies everywhere! We took tons of pics and one landed on Jason's head, but he moved so it flew away! After the Butterfly Conservatory, we went to Marineland. There we saw seals, dolphins, orcas, beluga whales, bears, etc. Brooke and I got to feed and touch an orca whale, but Brooke was scared of it. We also went into a deer forest, and got to feed deer, which Brookie loved, she laughed and had a great time! After Marineland we went to the Observation Tower and took pictures, it was very beautiful. Then we went out to dinner at Hooters and went back to the hotel for bed time. Wednesday we just drove home. That was our honeymoon, we had ablast!
